Mooroolbark VIC 3138

Held and cherished by the same family for more than 40 years, this spacious four-bedroom home sits proudly on a sweeping corner allotment of approximately 948m, just shy of 1/4 acre. Fragrant roses line the entrance, established gardens soften the surrounds and the layout still works beautifully for family life, while leaving plenty of scope to introduce your own contemporary style over time.The main bedroom is privately positioned at the front with a walk-in robe, ensuite and bay window, while three further robed bedrooms sit together in a rear wing with the family bathroom that includes a spa bath. It is a layout that gives parents and children their own zones without losing the easy connection that makes a family home work.Two living areas sit either side of the central kitchen. At the front, the formal lounge and dining room offer a quieter retreat, framed by a bay window and warmed by a gas log fire that radiates heat through the home. At the rear, the family and meals area becomes the everyday hub, with the skylit kitchen overlooking it all and offering electric cooking, dishwasher and generous bench space before life flows naturally outdoors.Outside, a covered all-season entertaining area with built-in BBQ overlooks the solar-heated in-ground pool, edged by palms and mature gardens, while stretches of lawn give children and pets room to move in a safe and secure fully fenced environment. Roses, camellias, ornamental crab apple and seasonal colour bring the flourishing garden to life, with a fenced veggie patch, garden shed and 3000L water tank adding a practical touch.Parking is another standout. Quiet court-side access leads through a secure roller door to a huge double carport with approximately 8ft clearance, ideal for vans, while extra space caters for a trailer or additional vehicles.Gas ducted heating, evaporative cooling and ceiling fans complete the comfort.The location is equally family-friendly, with Manchester Primary around a five-minute walk away, Wandana Reserve nearby and Mooroolbark College about 1km from home. Brushy Creek Trail connects you to Esther Park, Barngeong Reserve, Mooroolbark and Croydon North shops, while Mooroolbark Station and Chirnside Park are only minutes away.Disclaimer: The information contained herein has been supplied to us and is to be used as a guide only.
